Don't Look Up (REVIEW)

Submitted by Angelo B on Wednesday, Nov 17th 2010

I’m a “glass is half full” kind of guy. I try to find the positive side of everything in my life. For example, when I was recently dumped via text message, I rationalized it by being grateful that it saved me a trip across town to have that conversation in person. When I was recovering from surgery this Summer and couldn’t drink for two months, I considered it a perfect opportunity to save some money and drop some pounds. That said, I can’t find anything positive about this movie.

Trailer: New "Night of the Demons" is Chock Full of Blood and Boobs

Submitted by Joe on Tuesday, Aug 17th 2010

I'm pretty sure 75% of the new "Night of the Demons" trailer has already made it's way to the internet but I'm 100% sure the parts with the boobs being ripped off and crap is all new. Those are the kinds of things that usually stick in ones head for a while. I'm sorry if I ruined the surprise for you. How about to make it a big surprise, you watch the trailer at work and the real surprise can be when your IT department comes over and has you fired. That's my clever way of saying the new trailer isn't really safe for work.

The Thing (REVIEW)

Submitted by Jon on Monday, Aug 16th 2010

When a team of roughnecks staffing a remote Antarctic outpost come into contact with a strange alien life form that infects and mimics the appearance of its host, things begin to quickly spin out of control as no one can be sure of who has been infected and who remains clean. Led by McCready (Kurt Russell), the survivors attempt to cleanse their research station. Suspicions mount though, and between claustrophobia and the brutal elements, options begin to dwindle.

The Cabinet of Dr Caligari (2005) (REVIEW)

Submitted by John Shelton on Tuesday, Aug 3rd 2010

All the hand-wringing and fanboy indignation that accompanied the early days of the “remake everything” phase has mostly subsided to shrugs of resignation and cautious optimism. There are bad remakes and good remakes and any movie with a modicum of popular recognition stands a good shot at being remade if there’s a chance of making a few bucks off of it. From a purely financial standpoint, remakes make sense. Unless you’re a b-actor on the convention circuit, fanboy passion doesn’t pay the bills.

Trailer: "I Spit On Your Grave", Why God, Why?!

Submitted by Joe on Tuesday, Jul 13th 2010

I can get behind a lot of sick crap but I have no idea why anyone would want to see a remake of "I Spit On Your Grave". The only people I can see being interested in this are sick SOB's who have to watch this kind of crap for a weekly podcast... oh wait. Crap!

Anyway here's a new trailer for you to view. From the looks of things the castration scene from the original has made it into the remake along with all the rape awfulness you can handle. Which isn't much I hope.

"I Spit On Your Grave" comes out this September, sinner.

Gilmore Girls alumni Lauren Graham has decided that Wes Craven's upcoming "Scream 4" is no longer something she's interested in. Actress Lake Bell also left the project last week, leaving me to wonder what the hell is wrong with this movie.

In remake knews, more details are starting to emerge about the forthcoming "It" remake, a project I'm particularly excited about. Although I might be crucified for saying as much, the original really isn't that scary, and the material could certainly use an update. Let the flames begin.

Because the entire world wants it, Sony Stage 6 is preparing to shoot "Hostel: Part III" this August. The feature will be directed by Scott Spiegel, the man responsible for the grossly underrated slasher "Intruder". I'm sure you're as excited as everyone else about this project.

In Real People News:

What's worse than having the guy sitting next to you on the plane break wind during the entire flight? Having scores of maggots fall on you from the luggage compartment above your head. The culprit: A suitcase full of spoiled meat. Yummy!

If you think the family dog isn't capable of chowing down on a three month-old baby, think again. Normally I'd say something snarky and oddly inappropriate, but even I'm a little disturbed by this one
